Dore and Hinkle on the newly elected leftist President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro:- funded by George Soros- ushering in "woke ideology"- Petro's right wing rival, Rodolfo Hernández, was a populist, and "real lefty"- Petro is "faux-lefty", propped up by identity politics. pic.twitter.com/1wF1xjdPqd— Venerable Jorge 🇺🇦 (@Nitzky89) June 21, 2022
seriously watch the clip i feel like im losing my mind
it’s also a fact that Petro fought in support of Rojas Pinilla
Petro joined M-19 in 1978, a left wing paramilitary group, years after Pinilla had already died in 1975 and been out of power for decades (was president 1953-1957). M-19 formed after 1970 when Pinilla and his party the National Popular Alliance/ ANAPO (left-wing party) lost the election (they claimed fraud) to the right wing candidate. You're also misrepresenting Pinilla's rule imo, and its funny you bring up the communist party when it and literally all left wing parties in Colombia are all part of Pacto Historico that Gustavo ran with.
E: actually reading through your posts youre way misrepresenting Rodolfo and its concerning people are just upvoting this distortion. Rodolfo was endorsed by all the right wing candidates and parties, and his party LIGA is just a typical populist party that has some socially liberal stances and typical neoliberal economic policies. The guy has been indicted on multiple criminal charges of corruption while he was mayor and has said some seriously heinous shit, its weird you're going to bat for the guy.
